My Diabetes Story

I’ve been in the IT consulting industry for years, and like many others, my diagnosis came during a routine health check-up.

About 13–15 years ago, my sugar levels were consistently in the range of 7.8 to 7.9.

There were no major symptoms. No warning signs. Just numbers on a report that told me something wasn’t right.

I didn’t have a strong family history, just my grandmother, and hers was age-related.

So initially, it didn’t feel alarming. But like most people, I started depending on medication and basic dietary control to manage it.

How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?

I got to know about the program through a colleague who had attended the Discover Reversal Session.

She kept insisting that I should at least attend once.

Honestly, it took me almost a year and multiple reminders before I finally decided to check it out.

When I attended the session, what stood out was the clarity.

The way the human body, diabetes, and lifestyle were explained it made complete sense.

I wasn’t 100% convinced at first. Maybe 70-30. But I thought, “Let’s give it a try.”

Reversal Story

When I joined, my HbA1c was around 7.2, and I was taking Glycomet 500 mg twice daily. That was my normal routine.

What happened next honestly surprised me. Within just 3 weeks, I was completely off diabetes medication. Yes, 3 weeks.

I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly. But by following the protocols sincerely, my body responded faster than I imagined.

Over time, my HbA1c dropped to 5.8, and even today, I am maintaining it without medication. It didn’t stop there.

I had issues like fatty liver and cholesterol, for which I was also on medication.

But as my lifestyle improved, everything started aligning. My reports normalized, and I was able to stop those medicines as well.

Athletic Identity

I wouldn’t call myself a hardcore fitness enthusiast. I’m not someone who enjoys the gym. But what changed is consistency.

I started walking regularly, staying active, and participating in marathons. I’ve completed 10 km runs and make it a point to join such events whenever possible.

That shift from inactivity to consistency made a huge difference.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

One of the biggest lessons I learned is that these are all lifestyle diseases. Diabetes, cholesterol, fatty liver they’re all interconnected.

If you fix your lifestyle, everything starts improving together.

Today, I follow a simple approach:

Eat home-cooked food as much as possible
Include salads regularly (something I never did before)
Follow the 20-20-60 food balance rule
Stay active, even if it’s not intense workouts

I won’t say I’m perfect. Travel and work make it difficult sometimes. But even if I follow it 70% of the time, it works. And that’s the biggest shift it’s sustainable.

Even after completing the program long ago, I continue to maintain my health because the habits have become part of my lifestyle.
